LOCK.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Application flled September 13, 1905. Serial No. 278,292.

To all whom t 77mg/ concern,.-

Be it known that I, MARTIN MOHR, a citizen of the United States,residing at Newport, in the county of Campbell, in the State ofKentucky, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Locks, of whichthe following is a specification.

My invention relates to certain new and useful improvements in locks,and has for its obj ect to provide a lock with a guideway in which a tagis adapted to be secured and one hat is especially adapted to be used onmailags.

Another object of my invention is to provide a lock that is very simpleand cheap in construction land one that can be easily and quickly takenapart.

A further object of my invention is to provide a lock with a very simpletag or label locking means.

A urther object of my invention is to provide a lock with two sets ofdouble reversible tumblers spaced apart.

A Jfurther obj ect of my invention is to provide a locking-lever that isconnected to the hasp and the locking-bolt, so that when the hasp isclosed the bolt is locked.

With these objects in view my invention consists of the novelconstruction and arrangement of parts hereinafter described, pointed outin the claims, and shown in the accompanying drawings, in which- Figurel is a face view of the lock with the tag attached. Fig. 2 is a faceview of the lock with one of the sides removed, showing the workingparts. Fig. 3 is a sectional view through the lock, taken on the line 33 of Fig. 2. Fig. 4 is a face view of the lock, showing the upper set oftumblers removed and the intermediate plate partly broken away. Fig. 5is a Section through the lock, taken on the line 5 5 of Fig. 2.

Referring to the drawings, A indicates the lower shell, and B the uppershell, forming the casing of my lock. A hasp C is pivoted in the upperend of the casing A and is provided with an inwardly-projecting memberC', having a cut-out portion C2, in which the end Aof the spring C3 isadapted to rest and throw the hasp open when released by the tumblers.

A pair of double tumblers D are pivoted on the pintle D', provided witha spring D2, which engages a stud-pin D3 and holds the tumblers upagainst the hooked end of the hasp. A11 intermediate plate E is arrangedover the tumblers D, and upon the upper side of said plate a duplicatepair of tumblers F are pivoted on the pintle D and are provided withsprings F, which engage the wall ofthe lower shell A and hold thetumbler against the hasp. It will be seen that these tumblers can bereadily reversed when desired, as they are formed exactly alike.

Pivoted on the pintle G is a lever G, provided with a long jaw G2 and ashort jaw G3, adapted to engage the member C of the hasp C. The otherend of the lever is beveled and is adapted to engage the springlocking-bolt H, secured on the under side of the upper shell B by ascrew H. The bolt is provided with a member H2, projecting through anopening in the shell adapted to engage the opening` in the tag or labeland securely lock the same in the guideway B', formed in the face of theshell B. When the hasp is closed, an opening is formed in the guideway,through which a'screw I is adapted to pass into the lower shell and lockthe two shells together, the screw being securely held in place by thetag or label, so that there is no danger of the parts coming apart, andat the same time the parts can be easily separated by unlocking the lockand removing the tag or label and unscrewing the screw I.

Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire tosecure by Letters Patent, is-

1. In a lock the combination with the casing formed in two parts, of ahasp pivoted to the lower part, tumblers arranged in said part, a leverpivoted in said part adapted to engage the hasp, and a locking-boltcarried by the other part for the purpose described.

2. In a lock, the combination with thecasing formed in two parts, of ahasp pivoted to the lower part, tumblers pivoted in said part, a platesecured over said tumblers, a duplicate pair of tumblers arranged oversaid tumblers on the plate, a spring locking-bolt carried by the otherpart, and a lever operated by the hasp adapted to engage said bolt forthe purpose described.

3. In a lock, the combination with the casing formed in two parts, oneof the parts being provided with a guideway on the outside, alocking-bolt arranged under the guideway on the inside, and meansconnected to the ICO hasp for forcing the bolt into the guideway for thepurpose described.

4. In e lock, the combination With the casing, tumblers pvoted in saidcasing, e hasp pivoted in said casing and provided with aninwerdlyprojecting member, e guideway iorrned On the face of the casing,a springbolt secured in the casing under the guide- Wey, and e leveroperated by the hasp adapted to engage the bolt for the purposedescribed.

5. In a lock7 the combination with an upper and lower shell, of e doubleset of tu1nblers secured in the lower shell, a plate seerwies curedbetween said tumblers, a spring-actuated hasp secured in said shell, alever provided with jews at one end and adapted to engage the liesp andbeveled at the other end, e guideway formed in the face of the othershell7 a spring-bolt secured under the guide- Way on the inside andprojecting up in said guidewey and adapted to be Operated by the beveledend of the lever for the purpose described.
